4 hours ago4 hr No. oregonliveOregon defensive tackle Bear Alexander to return in 2026Oregon will have a key piece back on its interior defensive line in 2026.
4 hours ago4 hr No. The magic of NIL, I would think Bear would have a good chance to be drafted in the middle rounds.
4 hours ago4 hr No. This is good, but surprising, news. He played well enough to improve his NFL rating, but maybe another year will have a greater impact on where he'll go in the draft. Of course, there could be other legitimate reasons, like complete his degree or just learning more about life. Whatever his purpose, this is good news all around.

4 hours ago4 hr Moderator No. Very good news. When Bear was on, he dominated the middle. Another year in DL's (and presumably, Hampton's) system and he's a second to third round pick. No longer a head case, he'll be head of the pack.Hoping for more return dominoes to fall, like Theinemen, Tuioti and Matayo.I think Washington is gone, but he will be a round 1 or 2 pick.

2 hours ago2 hr No. When I consider the motivation people have for an action they take I look for the obvious. I believe Bear is having fun being where he is doing what he’s doing. Why trade what he has for the uncertainty of whatever happens next?
1 hour ago1 hr Moderator No. Nice! Bear really hit his stride mid-season.Tony Tuioti has been instrumental in his development at Oregon. It is cool to see players with NFL potential trusting our coaches to further enhance their skills.

LOL 😍.The bed in LA was too small. The bed in Eugene is B1G, damn green and just right. Sorry, please BEAR with me. 😁
56 minutes ago56 min No. This is great news for Oregon’s defense next season. Bear has really improved and perhaps he can work himself into the first round with a big season. Barner and Stewart had a nice interview with Bear before the USC game. I believe that he said that he earned his degree.
